Abstract
An analytical technique for the detection of hydrazine in environmental samples was described. Unsymmetrical dimethyl hydrazine (UDMH) is used in rocket fuel as a high-energy propellant. It is highly toxic and has been banned in Canada and the United States since 1989. However, in 1995 traces of UDMH were found in apples and the dangerous carcinogenic NDMA (a major byproduct of UDMH oxidation) was detected in drinking water in Ontario. The analysis of UDMH by derivation of seven aldehydes was investigated. A gas chromatography and a mass spectroscopy method of determining the presence of UDMH in water by reacting it with various aldehydes in dichromethane, was developed. 43 refs., 8 tabs., 15 figs.
